Scuba was trying to convince me the potluck was
gonna be in the rain.

Just to clear the air, I did nothing of the sort. I simply mentioned what the weather was showing yesterday but tried to convince you of nothing.

[bobhenry]

Rain or shine I will be there with ya little buddy

A brief thank you note for the coverage in the paper and his article would be nice.

Thanks for the help Bob

Please take a few moments and send him your selections.

And I want to send the newspaper copy to the local TV station with a letter that we were so sorry they missed us ( dripping sarcasm)

[Mark72]

I'm sure Jaxon is going to love camping as much as his mom and dad do so be sure to break him in soon. Chloe was 3 mos old when she got to go the first time. We stopped and got a plastic dish pan at wally world for bath time,Got a pic somewhere..

Sadly, we tried to make reservations for the campground, but there's no sites left. We've new to the teardrop and have only had ours for less than a year. We actually met a couple at Shades in September who built there own unit. We'll try a campground near and come in to see the camper on Saturday>

[Jst83]

Great we look forward to meeting you, sorry you couldn't get a site they sure booked up fast.

I know I have overstepped my bounds but they don't. Just trying to run a good bluff and get some action. Probably won't work but at least they will know there are 40 -50 pised off folks.

Here is the bluff e mail.

Susan: ( one of the kahoonas at reservation central)

At your urging I spoke with assistant manager Hill mid week last week and the property manager was to contact me about our delima. To date he has not bothered. Here is a 3rd response from the 6 folks that found themself out in the cold for our quarterly gathering.

We have 20 reservations confirmed can we transfer them to Turkey run without penalty since we have heard nothing about being able to double up. They said we could have an extra tent on each site ~~~our trailers will FIT in a 10 x 10 pop up.~~~~



What is the problem. We are more than willing to make an extra donation to the park but if this can not be resolved we would like to transfer in total to Turkey run with your help.



Prophetstown will be removed from our park list and their uncooperative attitude will be nothing more than a bad memory.

Wow, I'm impressed! Good memo, good try...having camped at most the parks I don't believe customer satisfaction is a high priority. The thought is appreciated, sorry we couldn't get a reservation earlier but the weekend just freed up. We're looking at Mississinwana or Tippecanoe...either way we'll stop by the park on Saturday. Dying to see eveyones teardrops but sad I can't show mine off. Our Names are Jody and Dave Reyburn, see you on Saturday!

[bobhenry]

Sometimes Dumb Luck wins !


Here is the response

Bob,

In response to you e-mail below. I had to wait and get the official answer from the property manager.

I can only move as fast as I get answers. I am OK with doubling up sites, but you need to e-mail me how many and on what sites they will be on



Skyler Hill

Assistant Property manager

[bobhenry]

Note to the Reyburns ~~~~

Dave and Jody. Would you please join the wife and I on site #208.

Please confirm so I can reply to our friend Mr. Hill.

I really want a good response so if there are any other fence setters just speak up I am certain we can find some one to double you up with.

Good morning Bob.



RE: No response on campsites for tear drop members.



I have been advised that Prophetstown is working on helping you out with the campsites. Make sure you give them the information they need to help them get this resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. You should be hearing from the Property Manager or Assistant Property Manger sometime today.



I’m sorry for the inconvenience this has caused for you and your members.



As always we strive to make our customer’s happy.



Have a great day.

Susan
